- FIG. 2 an example is shown of a method for determining a digital voltage replica.
- the method starts out by obtaining a substation topology 101 , in this example of the substation represented in FIG. 1 .

- Generation 102 of the node model may be performed during the engineering process wherein the substation is set up, while obtaining 103 switchgear status may be performed during run-time. As the status of switchgear may alter in operation of the substation, this data may need to be updated during runtime. Whereas in the engineering process indicating the link between the switchgear and the voltage replica would be sufficient.
- the node model can be animated 104 . This includes indicating for each pair of connectivity nodes whether there is a connection, depending on the status of the switchgear, which e.g. may be indicated as being ‘open’ or ‘closed’.
- At least one reference node can be determined for a target connectivity node.
- the target connectivity node may be selected in support of a particular application function, such as RSYN, MMXU or RDIR. It may also be predetermined by such function.
- FIG. 3 shows the same topology as FIG. 1 , wherein for sake of clarity not all logical nodes present in FIG. 1 are shown.
- the logical nodes 6 a and 6 b are represented as a single element 6 .
- logical nodes 9 a and 9 b being represented by element 9
- logical nodes 10 a and 10 b being represented by element 10
- logical nodes 14 a and 14 b being represented by element 14
- connectivity nodes are identified and numbered, in this example running from N 0 to N 12 .
- a connectivity node is a point in the single line diagram representing a common potential. These nodes may be located between two different components or between a component and an input/output.
- each component is associated with two connectivity nodes on either side of the component.
- the circuit breaker 33 is located between the two nodes N 3 and N 4 .
- current transformer 34 is located between nodes N 4 and N 5 .
- each component may be represented by one pair of connectivity nodes, such as N 3 -N 4 for circuit breaker 33 or N 4 -N 5 for the current transformer 34 .
- each switchgear present is represented by one respective pair of connectivity nodes. All connections terminating to earth i.e. ground may be represented by the same node as e.g. N 0 .
- the node model of the substation of FIG. 1 may be generated.
- the node model may be seen as combined strings of consecutive pairs of connectivity nodes, leaping from one pair to a next.
- the node model may also be visualized as a matrix, as shown in FIG. 4 .
- the visual representation of the model in FIG. 4 shows all nodes in both the rows and columns. Each cell i.e. position of the matrix shows whether two nodes are connected via a component; if empty no component is present. With the model generated, the status of each switchgear may be obtained and may be indicated as OPEN by “O” or CLOSED by “C”. By storing the status for each connectivity pair representing switchgear, the node model is animated.
- the relevant connectivity node that is associated with a voltage transformer needs to be determined. It requires a path search from target node to reference Voltage Transformer. This may be done by starting at a first connectivity pair comprising the target node and moving via the complementary i.e. counterpart node of the first connectivity pair to a next second connectivity pair. And consecutively moving on from this second connectivity pair to a next third connectivity pair. This moving from one connectivity pair to the next is done till a reference node associated with a voltage transformer is reached.
- FIG. 4 This moving from one connectivity pair to the next is visualized in FIG. 4 to determine the connected Voltage transformers for circuit breaker 33 ; when for example required to perform a Synchro Check.
- switchgears 32 , 33 , 35 and 42 are CLOSED.
- nodes N 6 , N 7 , N 8 and N 12 are connected to Voltage Transformers.
- the information of which node is connected to a particular voltage transformer may be represented as a VT-vector.
- the respective nodes, in this example N 6 -N 8 and N 12 may be replaced by VT-vectors indicating to which voltage transformer the node relates.
- connectivity pair N 4 -N 3 representing circuit breaker 33
- the column is followed to find the next connectivity pair, N 3 -N 2 representing switchgear 32 .
- connectivity pair N 3 -N 2 representing switchgear 32
- connectivity pair N 2 -N 8 representing switchgear 44
- connectivity node N 8 is connected to Voltage Transformer 44 , this the first required reference node.
- connectivity pair N 4 -N 5 representing Current Transformer 34 .
- connectivity pair N 5 -N 6 representing switchgear 35 .
- connectivity node N 6 is connected to Voltage Transformer 38 , this the second required reference node.
- the relevant reference voltages may be obtained from the node model generated from the topology of the substation. Moreover, in case of more complex topologies the generated node model may be simplified to ease the determination of relevant reference nodes.
- Simplifying the node model may include eliminating connectivity nodes associated with current transformers, as these do not influence the voltage level/potential. In the example of FIG. 3 , this means removing Current Transformer 34 by eliminating node N 5 , so node N 4 now directs to node N 6 via disconnector switch 35 . And removing Current Transformer 54 by eliminating node N 10 , so node N 9 now directs to node N 11 via disconnector switch 55 .
- Simplifying the node model further may include eliminating connectivity nodes associated with earthing switches, as these set potential to zero. In the example of FIG. 3 , this means removing earthing switches 36 and 56 by eliminating node N 0 .
- Further simplification may include eliminating connectivity nodes associated with power transformers.
- power transformers may be considered as boundary equipment separating voltage levels.
- simplification may include checking whether each voltage transformer is associated with a single connectivity node.
- Voltage Transformers are considered as boundary equipment having one connectivity node and may be represented by a VT vector.
- a resulting simplified node model may be represented visually as shown in FIG. 5 .
- further advantage for simplifying the model before determining reference nodes is taken from the symmetry of the matrix representation. Thereby reducing the matrix to a diagonal matrix. The arrows still indicate the path travelled to the relevant reference nodes.
- node model has been visually represented as a matrix, other ways of storing, processing and representing the node model may be used, such as e.g. string data sets or other data types, which may for example be more suited for parallel processing.
- the method as disclosed may be computer implemented in Intelligent Electronic Devices or other equipment being part of the automated control system of the substation.
- the method may be implemented in a dedicated proxy TVTR logical node, as shown in FIG. 1 . This allows multiple application nodes to subscribe to the proxy TVTR and hence gain access to the voltage replica obtained by the method. In this manner, the voltage replica will be available for use to any application function.
- the method may also be computer implemented in the application logical node requiring the voltage replica.
- FIG. 6 is another example of a representation of the same substation as in FIG. 1 . This shows the same single line diagram and logical nodes as indicated by the same reference signs as shown in FIG. 3 . However, in this example, the method is implemented in application logical node 17 ′.
- the method as disclosed allows selecting the reference node and therewith the reference voltage transformer for the target node at the application layer based on the topology. So, depending on the topology configuration the correct APPID or SV may be identified.
- the use of a proxy node enables a flexibility for providing the required sampled value data stream by identification and selection thereof in a logical node not fixed to one particular voltage transformer logical node.
- the proxy node has a function block named substation topology model and a function block named reference TVTR.
- Switchgear status is provided by the logical nodes of each respective switchgear to the inputs InRef 1 - 7 .
- Sampled Values coming from the reference TVTR logical nodes are provided to the inputs InRef 8 - 10 .
- seven inputs for switchgear logical nodes and three for voltage transformers logical nodes are shown, however additional inputs may be provided depending on the number of logical nodes present in the substation model.
- the proxy TVTR logical node has one output 73 for delivering the required data stream of Sampled Values. However, multiple outputs may be provided, for example when in a centralized architecture additional routing logics are active at the same time.
- the function block substation topology model holds the obtained substation topology and generates the node model in which all switchgear devices are organized, including their connectivity nodes representing physical terminals. Simplifying steps of eliminating current transformers, eliminating earthing switches and other simplifications as described above, may be performed on the substation topology node model.
- the obtained switchgear status data describing the position indications for all switchgear, viz. “OPEN” or “CLOSED”, is processed to animate the generated node model.
- the function block reference TVTR is arranged for performing the routing and selection logic that executes the path search for determining the reference Voltage Transformer node or nodes required for a particular application function.
- the associated Sampled Values data stream may be selected and delivered via the output 73 .
- the selection of the Sampled Values data stream is based on the VT vectors associated with the determined reference nodes, which allows to identify the correct SV stream.
- FIG. 8 an example of a single line diagram of another substation is shown.
- This substation has two double busbar sections 1 , 2 and 3 , 4 and connects to seven bays F 01 -F 07 , of which F 01 , F 02 , F 06 and F 07 are feeder bays.

- T 1 , T 10 and T 20 indicate voltage transformers
- Q 1 , Q 2 , Q 9 , Q 10 , Q 11 , Q 20 and Q 21 indicate disconnector switches.
- Connectivity nodes are indicated by M 1 -M 22 .
- FIG. 9 an example of a flowchart is shown for determining a reference voltage transformer VT. The steps of this example flowchart will be discussed while referring to FIG. 8 .
- the reference nodes for circuit breaker Q 0 of feeder bay F 01 are required.
- the switchgear status 802 of disconnector Q 9 is checked. It is closed, so move 804 to counterpart node M 7 .
- Check for voltage transformer 805 “yes” one is connected, so first reference voltage transformer node for node M 6 is found 808 .
- the switchgear status 802 of disconnector Q 1 is checked. It is open, so no path leading to a VT is present; end and restart. Then starting 801 again at target node M 5 , the switchgear status 802 of disconnector Q 2 is checked. It is closed, so move 804 to counterpart node M 2 . Check for voltage transformer 805 , none is connected, so check for next pair 806 . In this example, multiple connectivity pairs for node M 2 are present which all need to be checked according to the associated switchgear status. For the disconnector switch Q 2 of bay F 04 , the switchgear status is closed, so move to counterpart node M 13 .
- No voltage transformer VT 805 is connected, so move to next pair 806 , which will be circuit breaker Q 0 that is closed.
- the above steps are repeated along closed disconnector switch Q 10 of bay F 04 to node M 3 of the double busbar. And from node M 3 along closed disconnector switches Q 1 and Q 9 of feeder bay F 07 to reference voltage transformer node T 1 of feeder bay F 07 .
- FIG. 9 may be elaborated to include the various repetitions of the scheme as described above. And though the principal of the flowchart may be seen as moving along connectivity pairs based on switchgear status, various other schemes may be implemented to facilitate the path searching.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a digital substation voltage replica, and a method for obtaining a digital substation Voltage replica.
- In substations of the electricity grid circuit breakers and disconnectors are used for switching high voltage components. This may be under load conditions and no-load conditions. In addition to switching on/off of a load, circuit breakers are capable of switching on/off in case of short circuit currents. Under load conditions, prior to switching or connecting different power lines, checks are performed to ensure safe and reliable operation during and/or after switching. In particular, when power systems on each side of the circuit breaker are to be connected, these may not be synchronous regarding frequency, voltage and/or phase angle. Thereto control signals are derived from the actual power or voltage lines using Voltage Transformers (VT). This requires expensive voltage transformers for each power line to be checked, but as the external powerline will be the same for all or at least some voltage transformers a single reference may be provided by a common ring-wire which may be used for all. However, depending on the size of the substation the cable length required for implementing a network of ring-wires, each representing a particular reference signal, may become extensive and correspondingly expensive.
- To reduce cost, such voltage transformers may be replaced by Low Power Voltage Transformers (LPVT). However, as the signals thereof are not suited/powerful enough to be switched to/shared among a common single ring-wire, an additional amplifier is necessary, negating the previously achieved cost reductions.
- In both cases, the use of one or more ring-wires provides a hardwired solution wherein the location of the Voltage Transformer and the reference signal are directly linked.
- IEC 61850 defines a standard of communication for automation in substations. Logical devices are representing a set of automation, protection or other functions including all relevant information of the High Voltage equipment like switchgear. One or more logical devices could be hosted by an Intelligent Electronic Device (IED). Each logical device in turn includes one or more logical nodes that each represent a functional capability of the logical device. In addition, logical nodes may be created to provide application functions, such as RSYN, MMXU, RDIR. Data Objects may be assigned to each logical node for holding data and attributes, such as parameters, status and further properties. which can be exchanged between logical nodes.
- The IEC 61850 standard further prescribes the measurement and communication of sampled values (SV)—as a substitute for the derived analog signals. These sampled signals are obtained from Voltage Transformers, whether a LPVT or conventional, via a sampled signal generator, commonly referred to as merging unit. These sampled signals may be easily communicated via common Ethernet cables. Implementation of the IEC 61850 standard for providing the reference signal could replace the communicating and distribution of the reference signal via the ring-wire. However, the direct link between the sampled signal and the location where the signal originated is lost. Thus, in order to ensure that a specific signal represents a particular switching point in the substation when implementing IEC61850, the location i.e. origin of the sampled signal values needs to be retrievable. This could be done by equipping each switching point with its' own VT or LPVT and merging unit and encoding accordingly, or via a ring-wire necessitating one or more amplifiers and encoding which switchgear is connected to which ring-wire.
- To further reduce costs, there is a desire to reduce the number of components and to eliminate the need for an amplifier in combination with LPVT and ring-wire.
- It is an object of the invention to reduce the footprint and/or the number of components required for protection, control and measurement functions within the substation.
- According to one aspect, there is provided a method for determining a digital voltage replica for a substation. The method includes obtaining a substation topology and generating a node model from the substation topology. Wherein the generated model represents each switchgear by a pair of two connectivity nodes. The method further includes obtaining switchgear status data and animating the node model. When the node model is animated, the method allows determining a reference node for a target connectivity node. In this manner, a digital voltage replica of a substation is obtained.
- Thus, by taking advantage of the topology of the substation being digitally available, the method allows to determine a path to find a Voltage Transformer indicating a reference voltage level.
- According to another aspect, there is provided a substation model having at least two logical devices each representing a physical device of a substation, each logical device having one or more logical nodes. And wherein each logical node represents a functional capability of the logical device, and having assigned data objects containing attributes for the functional capability. The model further includes at least one proxy logical node for gathering sampled value data streams and selecting one thereof for transmitting.
- According to another aspect, a computer implemented method, computer program product and a data carrier are provided.
- By way of example only, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawing, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 shows an example of a single line diagram and logical nodes for a substation; -
FIG. 2 illustrates schematically an example of a method for determining a voltage replica in accordance with the invention; -

FIG. 8 shows an example of a single line diagram for another substation; and -
FIG. 9 is an example of a flowchart for determining a reference voltage transformer VT in accordance with the invention. - In this application, the term switchgear may refer to disconnector switches, circuit breakers, circuit switches, load switches or any other type of equipment capable of redirecting or disconnecting power lines, current lines or voltage lines.
- A substation may comprise various Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs), micro-processor based controllers, PLCs or other devices capable of providing a Utility Communication Architecture.
- Substation equipment may be organized in bays connected via one or more busbars. The term bay in general is used to denote a part of a substation containing switchgear and control-gear relating to a particular given circuit. The term feeder bay in particular is used to denote a bay of a substation that relates to a feeder or a link to a transformer, a generator or another substation. For details see e.g. the glossary of IEC 60050.
- As mentioned above the IEC61850 standard enables communication over internet, which includes the Open System interface (OSI) model, or a reduced model variant thereof. In order to link components at the physical layer to data at the application layer, data packets use headers for identification. In the case of voltage transformers VT, a header field SV APPID is used to identify these.
- Application functions common to substation control included RSYN, MMXU, RDIR. Each of these functions may benefit from a digital voltage replica being available for use. Definition of these functions may found in literature relating to IEC 61850. For convenience, these are briefly described below.
- RSYN is aa function that produces a closing for a circuit breaker closing command for connection two circuits whose voltages are within prescribed limits of magnitude, phase angle, and frequency.
- MMXU is a function for acquiring values from CTs and VTs and calculate measurands like RMS values for current and voltage or power flows out of the acquired voltage and current samples.
- RDIR is a function used for representing directional data objects in a dedicated LN used for directional relay settings.
- Referring to
FIG. 1 , a representation of an example of a substation is shown as a single line diagram and logical nodes. Part of these logical nodes are associated with switchgear components. Further logical nodes relate to application functions. - The single line diagram shows two
busbars feeder bays feeder bay first busbar 1 via respective disconnector switches 31, 41, 51 and to the second busbar via respective disconnector switches 32, 42, 52. -
Feeder bay 3 further has acircuit breaker 33, acurrent transformer 34, adisconnector switch 35, an earthingswitch 36, afeeder input 37, and avoltage measurement transformer 38.Feeder bay 4 further has twovoltage measurement transformers Feeder bay 5 further has acircuit breaker 53, acurrent transformer 54, adisconnector switch 55, an earthingswitch 56, afeeder input 57, and avoltage measurement transformer 58. - Each switchgear is associated/controlled with a logical node. Thus, the disconnector switches 31, 32 are controlled via circuit switch
logical nodes circuit breaker 33 is controlled via circuit breakerlogical node 7 anddisconnector switch 35 is controlled via circuit switchlogical node 8. Similarly, the disconnector switches 41, 42 are controlled via circuit switchlogical nodes logical nodes circuit breaker 53 is controlled via circuit breakerlogical node 11 anddisconnector switch 55 is controlled via circuit switchlogical node 12. For sake of clarity, the connections oflogical nodes logical node 18 have been represented by a single line. Similarly, forlogical nodes logical nodes 14 a and 14 b, and forlogical nodes - The representation of the substation further includes voltage measurement transformer logical nodes (TVTR) 13, 15 connected to respectively
voltage measurement transformers logical nodes 14 a and 14 b connected tovoltage measurement transformers logical node 16, a Synchro Check logical node (RSYN) 17, and a proxylogical node 18. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , an example is shown of a method for determining a digital voltage replica. The method starts out by obtaining asubstation topology 101, in this example of the substation represented inFIG. 1 . Within the IEC 61850 framework, the topology may be e.g. obtained from the substation section of a .SCD or .SSD file which comply with standard configuration file formats. - From the topology a node model is generated 102, wherein each switchgear is represented by a pair of two connectivity nodes. In addition, switchgear status data is obtained 103. In this example, the switchgear data is obtained after generating the
node model 102. In other examples, the switchgear data may be obtained prior to generating thenode model 102 or it may be performed simultaneously.Generation 102 of the node model may be performed during the engineering process wherein the substation is set up, while obtaining 103 switchgear status may be performed during run-time. As the status of switchgear may alter in operation of the substation, this data may need to be updated during runtime. Whereas in the engineering process indicating the link between the switchgear and the voltage replica would be sufficient. - When the node model is generated and the switchgear status data is available, the node model can be animated 104. This includes indicating for each pair of connectivity nodes whether there is a connection, depending on the status of the switchgear, which e.g. may be indicated as being ‘open’ or ‘closed’.
- When the node model is animated 104, at least one reference node can be determined for a target connectivity node. The target connectivity node may be selected in support of a particular application function, such as RSYN, MMXU or RDIR. It may also be predetermined by such function.
- Turning to
FIG. 3 , the method is described in more detail.FIG. 3 shows the same topology asFIG. 1 , wherein for sake of clarity not all logical nodes present inFIG. 1 are shown. In addition, thelogical nodes single element 6. Similarly, forlogical nodes element 9,logical nodes element 10, andlogical nodes 14 a and 14 b being represented byelement 14 - With the topology as shown in
FIG. 1 obtained, connectivity nodes are identified and numbered, in this example running from N0 to N12. A connectivity node is a point in the single line diagram representing a common potential. These nodes may be located between two different components or between a component and an input/output. Likewise, each component is associated with two connectivity nodes on either side of the component. For example, thecircuit breaker 33 is located between the two nodes N3 and N4. Andcurrent transformer 34 is located between nodes N4 and N5. Thus, each component may be represented by one pair of connectivity nodes, such as N3-N4 forcircuit breaker 33 or N4-N5 for thecurrent transformer 34. And in particular, each switchgear present is represented by one respective pair of connectivity nodes. All connections terminating to earth i.e. ground may be represented by the same node as e.g. N0. - Accordingly, the node model of the substation of
FIG. 1 may be generated. In the single line diagram ofFIG. 3 , the node model may be seen as combined strings of consecutive pairs of connectivity nodes, leaping from one pair to a next. The node model may also be visualized as a matrix, as shown inFIG. 4 . - The visual representation of the model in
FIG. 4 shows all nodes in both the rows and columns. Each cell i.e. position of the matrix shows whether two nodes are connected via a component; if empty no component is present. With the model generated, the status of each switchgear may be obtained and may be indicated as OPEN by “O” or CLOSED by “C”. By storing the status for each connectivity pair representing switchgear, the node model is animated. - To obtain a reference voltage for a specific target node, as for example required for a specific application function, the relevant connectivity node that is associated with a voltage transformer needs to be determined. It requires a path search from target node to reference Voltage Transformer. This may be done by starting at a first connectivity pair comprising the target node and moving via the complementary i.e. counterpart node of the first connectivity pair to a next second connectivity pair. And consecutively moving on from this second connectivity pair to a next third connectivity pair. This moving from one connectivity pair to the next is done till a reference node associated with a voltage transformer is reached.
- This moving from one connectivity pair to the next is visualized in
FIG. 4 to determine the connected Voltage transformers forcircuit breaker 33; when for example required to perform a Synchro Check. Supposeswitchgears - Starting from the connectivity pair N4-N3 representing
circuit breaker 33, the column is followed to find the next connectivity pair, N3-N2 representing switchgear 32. From connectivity pair N3-N2 the row is followed to connectivity pair N2-N8 representing switchgear 44. As connectivity node N8 is connected toVoltage Transformer 44, this the first required reference node. - Again starting from the connectivity pair N3-N4 representing
circuit breaker 33, now the row is followed to find the next connectivity pair, N4-N5 representingCurrent Transformer 34. From connectivity pair N4-N5 the column is followed to connectivity pair N5-N6 representing switchgear 35. As connectivity node N6 is connected toVoltage Transformer 38, this the second required reference node. - As shown above, from the node model generated from the topology of the substation, the relevant reference voltages may be obtained. Moreover, in case of more complex topologies the generated node model may be simplified to ease the determination of relevant reference nodes.
- Simplifying the node model may include eliminating connectivity nodes associated with current transformers, as these do not influence the voltage level/potential. In the example of
FIG. 3 , this means removingCurrent Transformer 34 by eliminating node N5, so node N4 now directs to node N6 viadisconnector switch 35. And removingCurrent Transformer 54 by eliminating node N10, so node N9 now directs to node N11 viadisconnector switch 55. - Simplifying the node model further may include eliminating connectivity nodes associated with earthing switches, as these set potential to zero. In the example of
FIG. 3 , this means removing earthingswitches - Further simplification may include eliminating connectivity nodes associated with power transformers. As power transformers may be considered as boundary equipment separating voltage levels. And simplification may include checking whether each voltage transformer is associated with a single connectivity node. As Voltage Transformers are considered as boundary equipment having one connectivity node and may be represented by a VT vector.
- A resulting simplified node model may be represented visually as shown in
FIG. 5 . In this example, further advantage for simplifying the model before determining reference nodes is taken from the symmetry of the matrix representation. Thereby reducing the matrix to a diagonal matrix. The arrows still indicate the path travelled to the relevant reference nodes. - In the method as described a static mode of operation is assumed, meaning that changes in switchgear positions should trigger requests for re-animation i.e. re-calculation of the node model. Note that though the node model has been visually represented as a matrix, other ways of storing, processing and representing the node model may be used, such as e.g. string data sets or other data types, which may for example be more suited for parallel processing.
- The method as disclosed may be computer implemented in Intelligent Electronic Devices or other equipment being part of the automated control system of the substation. The method may be implemented in a dedicated proxy TVTR logical node, as shown in
FIG. 1 . This allows multiple application nodes to subscribe to the proxy TVTR and hence gain access to the voltage replica obtained by the method. In this manner, the voltage replica will be available for use to any application function. - Alternatively, the method may also be computer implemented in the application logical node requiring the voltage replica. Shown in
FIG. 6 , is another example of a representation of the same substation as inFIG. 1 . This shows the same single line diagram and logical nodes as indicated by the same reference signs as shown inFIG. 3 . However, in this example, the method is implemented in applicationlogical node 17′. - The method as disclosed allows selecting the reference node and therewith the reference voltage transformer for the target node at the application layer based on the topology. So, depending on the topology configuration the correct APPID or SV may be identified.
- Whereas the voltage transformer logical nodes are fixed and only provide one data stream of sampled values, the use of a proxy node enables a flexibility for providing the required sampled value data stream by identification and selection thereof in a logical node not fixed to one particular voltage transformer logical node.
- Turning to
FIG. 7 , an example of a proxy TVTR logical node is shown in more detail. The proxy node has a function block named substation topology model and a function block named reference TVTR. Switchgear status is provided by the logical nodes of each respective switchgear to the inputs InRef 1-7. Sampled Values coming from the reference TVTR logical nodes are provided to the inputs InRef 8-10. In this example seven inputs for switchgear logical nodes and three for voltage transformers logical nodes are shown, however additional inputs may be provided depending on the number of logical nodes present in the substation model. The proxy TVTR logical node has oneoutput 73 for delivering the required data stream of Sampled Values. However, multiple outputs may be provided, for example when in a centralized architecture additional routing logics are active at the same time. - The function block substation topology model holds the obtained substation topology and generates the node model in which all switchgear devices are organized, including their connectivity nodes representing physical terminals. Simplifying steps of eliminating current transformers, eliminating earthing switches and other simplifications as described above, may be performed on the substation topology node model.
- The obtained switchgear status data describing the position indications for all switchgear, viz. “OPEN” or “CLOSED”, is processed to animate the generated node model.
- The function block reference TVTR is arranged for performing the routing and selection logic that executes the path search for determining the reference Voltage Transformer node or nodes required for a particular application function.
- When the correct reference node or nodes are determined, the associated Sampled Values data stream may be selected and delivered via the
output 73. In this example, the selection of the Sampled Values data stream is based on the VT vectors associated with the determined reference nodes, which allows to identify the correct SV stream. - Referring to
FIG. 8 , an example of a single line diagram of another substation is shown. This substation has twodouble busbar sections - Turning to
FIG. 9 , an example of a flowchart is shown for determining a reference voltage transformer VT. The steps of this example flowchart will be discussed while referring toFIG. 8 . Suppose the reference nodes for circuit breaker Q0 of feeder bay F01 are required. Starting 801 at target node M6, theswitchgear status 802 of disconnector Q9 is checked. It is closed, so move 804 to counterpart node M7. Check forvoltage transformer 805, “yes” one is connected, so first reference voltage transformer node for node M6 is found 808. - Starting 801 again, now at target node M5, the
switchgear status 802 of disconnector Q1 is checked. It is open, so no path leading to a VT is present; end and restart. Then starting 801 again at target node M5, theswitchgear status 802 of disconnector Q2 is checked. It is closed, so move 804 to counterpart node M2. Check forvoltage transformer 805, none is connected, so check fornext pair 806. In this example, multiple connectivity pairs for node M2 are present which all need to be checked according to the associated switchgear status. For the disconnector switch Q2 of bay F04, the switchgear status is closed, so move to counterpart node M13. Novoltage transformer VT 805 is connected, so move tonext pair 806, which will be circuit breaker Q0 that is closed. The above steps are repeated along closed disconnector switch Q10 of bay F04 to node M3 of the double busbar. And from node M3 along closed disconnector switches Q1 and Q9 of feeder bay F07 to reference voltage transformer node T1 of feeder bay F07. - Of course, the flowchart of
FIG. 9 may be elaborated to include the various repetitions of the scheme as described above. And though the principal of the flowchart may be seen as moving along connectivity pairs based on switchgear status, various other schemes may be implemented to facilitate the path searching. In anyway, determining reference voltage transformers has been shown to be alleviated by the disclosed method for determining a digital voltage replica of a substation. - The method as disclosed, may be present in a substation as a computer program product.
